Introduction: Previous studies have discussed the differences in lactate (LH) before and after bouts of Free Wrestling and Greco-roman Wrestling (Kraemer, Fry et al., 2001; Nilsson, Csergö et al., 2002; Karnin i , Tocilj et al., 2009; Barbas, Fatouros et al., 2011; Chino, Saito et al., 2015). Nevertheless, few studies have investigated the variation in aerobic characteristics (Yoon, 2002). The aim of this study was to compare Free Wrestlers and Greco-roman Wrestlers during recovery, specifically investigating the LH and aerobic variables. Methods: Twenty-three elite male wrestlers, [13 Free Wrestlers (FW) and 10 Greco-roman Wrestlers (GRW), body weight 60-120 Kg], participated in the present study. Blood samples were taken all in the first, third and seventh minute of recovery. Also, aerobic variables were controlled during the recovery period. Student`s t test were utilized to compare means between FW and GRW Results: The results of this study did not show any significant differences in LH, maximum oxygen consumption, maximum carbon dioxide production, maximum ventilatory rate, rating expenditure rate and breath frequency between Free Wrestlers and Greco-roman Wrestlers (p>0.05). Discussion: To our knowledge, tere is currently no literature investigating the differences in LH and aerobic variables in recovery between FW and GRW. Few articles discuss the differences in physical fitness between these two modalities, achieving significant results only in certain tests (Demirkan, Kutlu et al. 2014). Others compare recovery in other modalities; some authors found differences in LH peak and in LH recovery between long distance, sprint and middle distance athletes (Bret, Messonnier et al. 2003; Vucetic, Mozek et al. 2015). Additionally, LH peak and LH recovery were different between karate athletes of distinct levels (Ravier, Dugue et al. 2006). However, our results did not show differences in LH and aerobic variables recovery between the two modalities of wrestling, this could be due the modalities studied being similar in time and technique. LH variation appeared between the modalities when duration differences were significant.
